No, PUDC is one I know I don't have. The 'don't haves' are easier than the 'do haves'.

I believe you are correct after looking at the Hosta Library pic. I don't have this listed in my book that stops at '08 but it may be on my 'bed' list. I'll check it out. Thanks! It really is pretty this year!

Hi everyone, Haven't been on the forum for quite some time as things happen for better or worse. During that time, I've lost ever so many name tags to my hostas (pencil....always use pencil!) or they've faded or I've moved them and don't remember where and I guess as things go, I can handle that. Ma...

My senior cat, Gassie, was put to rest about two weeks ago. I was in search of just the right hosta to plant where I buried her. I came across this unusual Eternal Flame at the local nursery and purchased it immediately, knowing that it was perfect for my unusual cat. Of course they all looked at me...

Borderline chance for frost tonite in Illinois where I live. Would be a shame to lose this!!

I would post a picture of my Marilyn Monroe, but she evidently doesn't like where I have her and after a wonderful spring display, melted completely away. All I see right now is ummmm.. remnents? Might have to rethink her place in the garden...lol

Thanks KHT, but I would really like to find some plants. Must be a bit a of a shortage of them in Illinois this year. Maybe next spring!

Teresa

I did plant a Guardian Angel division over her and also an Eternal Flame, too. I can't believe how much I still miss her yet. I have 2 new shelter cats with me now and they help fill up the void, but she was totally unique!

How come delphiniums are so dang hard to find??? You'd think such a standard in the garden would be more readily available, but I haven't been able to find the dark blue/purple ones I love!

gold moneywort is a very low growing groundcover, takes sun, shade, heat, foot traffic. Of course there is a downside also. It's very vigorous! Meaning you will have to keep an eye on it to keep it where you want it. I use it a lot because I absolutely love spring color.

Right on top of my list is Sagae. It blows out of the ground every year and multiplies rapidly. Another one that surprised the heck out of me this year was Ginsu Knife. It exploded this year with growth. Maybe it was finally it's leap year!

I have Stargate in my beds and have only had it for 2 years now, but it's grown very fast. Easily tripled from when it arrived. And yes, it has very long legs! It's in several hours of sun and just sending out its scapes so should be blooming soon. Don't have a pic from this year, but later I will g...

I have a new kitty I adopted from a foster home that is going to have a tail like that and I'm picking him and bring him home to his forever home on Tuesday! I'm so excited! When I met him i just knew he was the 'one'. Have a face pic but the others are on my phone and i can't upload them off. He's ...

Linda's reply rang a bell with me... she loved to hide under my huge guardian angel...I think I have a winner.. I sure miss her. There's such a void in the house..

Thanks Pieter, hopefully I can find one on the list for her.

I lost my beautiful girl today and she was buried tonite. I want to plant a hosta by her if possible...her name was Missy...I miss her already. Any suggestions? Thanks

Teresa

That's one hosta you will never regret! It's just incredible and I have 2 of them. My biggest is just outside my front door to be my Guardian Angel!

Not sure where you live, but my Stairway To Heaven is up and blooming in Illinois! Great plant!

Melissa, I picked mine up at a garden center last fall on clearance. But it's definitely available online too!

Teresa

Actually mine is a liquid...not pellets.
